Okay so I read a few posts on here saying to watch out for Heinz Apple Cider FLAVORED vinegar. I have the Triumph Grocery guide and decided to look in there and it not only list the plain Apple Cider vinegar but the APPLE CIDER FLAVORED. Is this book actually not reliable? This really bothers me.....

I've never heard of Heinz Apple Cider FLAVORED vinegar. What does the label say? Here's the website and I don't see anything about the flavored vinegar: Open Original Shared Link

I think the main thing we have to watch for in vinegar is the word MALT, which is not gluten-free.

Edit: I know some people do have problems with vinegar but it's not because of gluten (well, except for Malt as noted above)

I'd never heard of it either but if you search on here people were talking about it...the fact that it's listed there is making me nervous the grocery guide may not be trustworthy.

After looking at the Heinz website, there's only one apple cider vinegar listed, which I use and have no problem with it.

I just went to the Heinz website and at the bottom of the page I saw this:

Are Heinz

You're right, Bart. I was only checking on the Apple Cider Vinegar she was asking about, not the other varieties that contain barley. And malt = barley, a big no-no for us.

I wonder what the other threads were talking about with the Apple Cider Flavored vinegar having gluten? Unless they changed it in the last few years and i was reading old threads?

It's always a good idea to check the ingredients on the label as ingredients do change from time to time. The labels would have the most up-to-date info. Some of the old threads on the forum may not be current.

I'm thinking maybe they discontinued the Apple Cider Flavored Vinegar? I do remember it not being on HeInz's list of gluten free items several years ago which is why it is mentioned in archived posts.

Like SA said, information in old product posts may be outdated and no longer correct.

I don't know why they would sell "apple cider flavored" vinegar when most vinegar is, in fact, made from cider, and products labeled "cider vinegar" are easy to find.

The Apple Cider Flavored Vinegar, if I remember correctly, was from a grain source with flavoring added.

Have no idea what it was used for.

I'm pretty certain we're talking about some old threads.

Am I missing something? I'll highlight the sentence I was referring to that I got from the Heinz site yesterday:

Some Heinz

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
